We also did not have any weekly tasks but site people start to create work orders in CMMS to do function test of safety & emergency equipment. So have to accommodate it. Moreover, we need to record the failure history for these failure finding tasks. What do you think?

How does operations manage their operating routine, using a schedule in a spreadsheet?
Darth: They are required to perform a cleaning setup before each batch, and if the next batch is for a different product (or under other factors) the cleaning is more detailed. After the cleaning they have to setup their equipment and before the start of the batch their supervisors inspect and give them the go-ahead. All events occurring in the room are recorded in the logbook (cleanings, batch production, and our maintenance orders). A comments column provides opportunity to record failures detected during the cleaning or the production. If problems are detected during cleaning or setup are reported using maintenance notifications.

Can you capture failure finding task histories & equipment switching or duty/standby with running hours?

How does Maintenance confirm the weekly tasks are done by operations, via a filled checklist?
Darth: Production / Packaging personnel record in logs books only, this gives us the date and time but no of the details of actions performed. However, Utilities Operators use detailed checklists for their daily, weekly, and monthly routines. Also they use a logbook to record all events at the area which sometimes may indicate to us what could have trigged a failure.
